He may prefer hot rod racers to a three-wheeler Reliant Robin, but the unveiling of the multi-million pound UK lottery winner has already prompted comparisons with Del Boy and his 'Only Fools and Horses' rags-to-riches story.

Not only was the winner called Trotter, but he had also used a famous catchphrase from the show when speaking to his father on the day of his massive win.

Neil Trotter, from Coulsdon, London, said he was so confident he would win a prize he had told staff at his father's office last Friday lunchtime that "this time tomorrow" he would be a multi-millionaire.
